Osteria Giulia sprung to life in our imaginations as a tribute to Italian traditions of the past. We wanted to create one simple, beautiful thing. Somewhere outside of your busy life, outside of your surroundings, outside of time. An environment, an experience, an entire evening. Osteria Giulia is intimate, warm and familiar. We’ve revelled in her every detail. We’ve established a rarified menu focusing on Northern Italian cuisine and delicate coastal, Mediterranean flavour. Giulia is a new imagining of what an Italian restaurant can be. It always was the place of our dreams, the reason for our collaboration, and the culmination of—and conduit for—our collective passion.

    We sat at the bar on a Saturday night and Weir assisted by Glenn and Samantha, expert bartenders, very knowledgeable about the food and really delightful company! The pastas are exceptional. The appetizers are creative and delicious. But Glenn and Samantha really made our dinner extra special! Highly recommend.

    Amazing evening at Oretta Midtown yesterday. The welcoming we received at the front desk was warm and hospitable. The table was beautifully appointed, allowing plenty of room for purses, coats and umbrellas. Then came the best part - our server Jerome. So delightful, funny and engaging. Cocktails were spot on - perfect Negroni, refreshing Aperol Spritz. We ordered from the happy hour menu. Potato crocchette - light, well seasoned with a hint of spicy sauce on top. Polenta - this was my favorite. Perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Excellent. Carciofi (fried artichokes). Not over fried so still had texture. Well seasoned so I didn't need the accompanying sauce. Burrata pomodoro - perfectly plump grape tomatoes, fresh basil leaves topped with heavenly creamy burrata. Everything was delicious. In addition to the amazing service provided by Jerome and the 10/10 food, we had another staff member attending to our table regularly to ensure empty plates were collected and that the table remained uncluttered. Great night!
